FAQ
What is an Approved Occupant? An Approved Occupant is anyone residing at the property who is over 16 years of age that has been approved to stay there by the owner. Am I a “Tenant”? No, the Tenant/s is listed on the General Tenancy Agreement and you are staying at the property as a guest of the Tenant/s.
As a tenant, you are legally responsible for the lease agreement that you signed with the landlord and property owner. While you can choose to live with someone who is not on the lease, some potential complications and risks come with this choice. The landlord could choose to have the non-tenant evicted.
So what's the difference between the two? Well, as mentioned above, the renter is responsible for upholding the responsibilities of the rental agreement. Meanwhile, as the name suggests, the approved occupier has the right to reside at the property.
Adding someone to your tenancy means you both become joint tenants. It's not the same as passing your tenancy on to someone else. You need permission from your landlord to add someone as a joint tenant.
How to add a new tenant to an existing lease Get it in writing. Changes to existing lease agreements should be documented in writing. Verify the property's occupancy limit. Ask for a completed rental application. Approve or deny the rental application based on established criteria. Review lease details with all tenants.
Occupancy Limits. (a) Except as provided by Subsection (b), the maximum number of adults that a landlord may allow to occupy a dwelling is three times the number of bedrooms in the dwelling.
There is nothing wrong, with someone leasing/renting more than one property. Having two leases makes the person liable for two properties. People may want to have two different places to live and rent in the state of Texas and it would be at their discretion to be liable, for both.
Resident: An individual who has signed a lease agreement with the property owner, legally binding them to adhere to the terms outlined, including payment obligations and care for the property. Occupant: Anyone residing in a property without a legal agreement with the owner.
If you want to transfer, or 'assign', your rental agreement (lease) to someone else, or add someone to your agreement, you need the consent of the landlord (rental provider). You also need their consent to sublet the property. They cannot unreasonably refuse to consent.
Occupants are not tenants and are not on the lease. However, you can authorize them to stay on the property. Occupants do not have financial responsibility for the lease and have no specific rights under landlord/tenant law.
